Comic Life: Computer program for Macs Mar 15, 2008
HIGHLY reccomended
I use this every year with my special needs class, they make comic books with it.

The kids still have to draw their own stuff, and you scan it in.
LOVE the program so much and so do my students!

Wonderful software for Kids or Adults Apr 07, 2007
I have used this software on a Mac for several years but I understand it is now available for Windows users as well. This is a great value and offers a creative outlet for all types of projects. I have made photo pages for a scrap book, a comic birth announcement, and more. Not-for-profit institutions can purchase a "Site" license for all their computers for only $500 from the company (direct buy. Our local school district purchased that license for some 5,000 computers or .10 cents per machine. Many student with "writing problems" have enjoyed this software to write simple reports.

Easy to use and ties into your iPhoto library for Mac users.

Comic Life Deluxe Dec 03, 2006
This is a wonderful and inexpensive bit of software! Although, I am not into comics I love the templates for my photography. There are all kinds of possibilities. Do have a go at it.

Comic Life Software Nov 05, 2006
This inexpensive software is so easy to use, and is a lot of fun. I was developing comic type layouts of my photos within 1 hour of loading the software.

I highly recommend it.

A fun, creative, and truly unique Mac app. Aug 12, 2006
First, to answer the inevitable question, "What's the difference between the standard and deluxe versions?" the answer is: More. The standard version of Comic Life gives you 7 fonts, 78 templates, and 78 styles (headlines, etc). The deluxe version gives you 40 fonts, 322 templates, and 180 styles. Otherwise the two apps are identical. (PS: The most current version is a Universal binary, and there's a free updater on Freeverse's web site.)

This is truly a unique app, one which has the potential to be an awful lot of fun and produce surprisingly high quality results with a minimum of effort. On the surface the app is just a "fun" app with no practical purpose; it's great to make things like mementos for your kids' friends from a birthday party, or a fun vacation photo album. But in reality it's a Godsend to any aspiring comic book artist. Scan your artwork, place it in the prefabricated templates, add lettering and headlines, and you can very easily - and realistically - design and publish your own professional looking comic book. You can export your pages as high res PDFs thanks to OS X's built-in PDF engine and send 'em right to press.

The app has fairly low system requirements. It flies on my dual 2GHz G5, but it performs quite nicely even on a 500MHz iBook G3 and is tolerable on a 233MHz bondi iMac (given sufficient memory). My ONLY wish for this app is an "auto-fill" button that will automatically populate the templates with selected pictures (or entire albums) from my iPhoto library. As it is now, you have to manually drag them over one at a time. While this is only the slightest of inconveniences when dealing with a simple one or two page comic, it gets to be a royal pain when you're dealing with dozens of pages and hundreds of images. It's for this reason alone that I give it four rather than five stars.
